I like it. If you have the money, just build it as a house. Design it so the kitchen, master bedroom with ensuite, and family room are at one end. Then you have your lounge area and accommodation for visitors. Leave the rest open with access from a standard double width garage door, and if it...

I had the same issue with my first Dremel. Second one has been going a good 9 years so far though

I’ve had wireless transmitters before. They kinda ****, and you need 2 more PowerPoints. Main advantage is that they usually also receive the signal from the remote and send it back to the cable box, allowing you to change channels from the other room. If you can live without that functionality...

That’s basically the size of a house. Take off the 20k for driveway and $67k for a closed up house frame is probably pretty close. It’s not the 90’s any more. Things cost a fair bit more than they used to. You might have to try for single story or alternate building methods. 10k seems a lot for...

Is the picture relevant, or just a nice picture? I’m confused. The 3rd and 4th cars are the toys. Could be a 4x4, a muscle car , a hotrod. Basically anything.

Open when I’m in there unless it’s freezing cold outside. Mines in an enclosed yard with a 6 foot gate though so no privacy issues.

I’ve tried a few things but always come back to the angle grinder with a thin disc. Usually try to use a scrap piece with a factory cut as a guide line. Most of the time the cut is hidden under the flashing or trim. If it needs to be perfect, then i’m Generally ordering new stuff and just order...

The whole premise is kind of depressing. If I go through with this, I’m going to either die early, or I’m going to live to a ripe old age having not used these parts that I’ve collected.

I think you may find that even the 65 inch TV’s are nowhere near 100 pounds. I bought a 70 for work recently and I reckon it was closer to 50.

Got Sonos through the house. Playbar in lounge, pair of 3’s in the dining/sitting/kitchen area and the kids have a 1 each in their rooms. Yeah it’s pricey, but you pay for the quality. Sound is nice and rich and then connection/operation is nearly flawless. I’ve used cheaper stuff and there’s...

Skillion, flat roof angled one way, lots of interior headroom but doesn’t dominate the landscape as you can’t really see any roofing from any point on our property The cladding is called Alucobond. It’s a composite, plastic core with thin aluminum veneer both sides. Flat, pre-colored, no paint...

Oh, they’ll always bring something into the argument. Mine is the tractor. I upgraded from a 1960’s Massey Ferguson to a 90’s 85hp Kubota 4wd with full cab and a chunky front end loader. It was only $20k, and I did more on the property in the first week with the Kubota than I had in 7 years with...

What’s wrong with the standard use? “Honey, it’ll get all my stuff out of the driveway and back yard. “ She didn’t even blink when I made it a meter wider than we’d agreed upon, just wants to know when it’ll be finished so she can plan her music studio behind it.

Cut down those 3 pine trees behind it, then you won’t have anything to compare it to and it’ll look level.

The hack is the guy who couldn’t build a room/closet square. As for the electrician, a guy who hides 90 percent of his work inside the walls probably should keep his critical chops shut lest someone smack him in them.
